Local Nightclubs To Raise Funds For Burned Teen
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBS4) ―
A South Florida night club is the latest business to hold a fundraiser to help the family of a Deerfield Beach boy who was intentionally set on fire.
Fifteen year old Michael Brewer suffered burns over two-thirds of his body when five other teens set him on fire after a dispute over money, according to BSO detectives. Brewer remains at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The hospital says despite the fact that Brewer's family has insurance, it will not cover many expenses.
